KID TURBONI BRINGS THE RAIN at The Growing Stage New Play-Reading Festival

Foundry member Mark Costello’s play Kid Turboni Brings the Rain will be presented in a reading at the New Play-Reading Festival at The Growing Stage – The Children’s Theatre of New Jersey. Congrats, Mark!

In our New Play-Reading Festival, four brand-new plays for young audiences, chosen from 100 submitted works, will be read by professional and community artists in a casual setting. Following each reading, the entire family can participate in discussion of the work with our professional team. One of the four plays will be selected to become a fully mounted Main Stage production in 2015!

About the play:

The worst heat wave in the history of Albuquerque’s Housing Project 326A rages on, leaving Kid Turboni sweat-deprived on the hot pavement with his best friend, Billy Santos. When it becomes too much, they decide to steal rain from Mother Nature. Parents interfere, nature refuses to cooperate, girls want kisses and sparklers are lit, but the question remains: Can Kid Turboni bring the rain?
